plain text document attachment (mempool-add_kmalloc_allocator.patch)
From: Matthew Dobson <[email protected]>
Subject: [patch 3/6] mempool - Add kmalloc allocator
Add another allocator to the common mempool code: a kmalloc/kfree allocator
This will be used by the next patch in the series to replace duplicate
mempool-backed kmalloc allocators in several places in the kernel.
It is also very likely that there will be more users in the future.
